Last night Glasgow played host to the 16th (yes 16th!) annual MOBO awards, hosted by US singer Jason Derulo and singer and Strictly judge Aleesha Dixon. The evening saw models, actors and a whole host of guests from the music industry, showing that the MOBOs is now firmly up there as a big music award show.
The stars turned it up on the red carpet and I picked my four favourite looks of the evening and used them to inspire high street looks that would be perfect for our big event on 22nd October.
Jourdan Dunn
Model Jourdan was definitely one of the best dressed of the night in her stunning embellished Roberto Cavalli gown. Embellished dresses are a great way to add instant glam and opting for a nude tone like Jourdan keeps the look classy and chic. Keep accessories to a minimum and opt for simple hair and make up and let the dress do the talking.

Jason Derulo
Host Jason Derulo looked sharp on the red carpet, keeping the traditional monochrome look fresh by adding a velvet jacket (he must read our blog). There’s a lot to be said for a traditional black tie look, the key is to add your own twist.
